And now? Perplexed, the Borussia Dortmund players walked across the lawn of the Wembley stadium. For half a year you flew to the success of the course, he now blows it away and is easy to grip. Not in the Bundesliga, in the DFB-Pokal and in the Champions League. In the first leg of the eighth finals of the League leaders of the Bundesliga with Tottenham Hotspur played a good first half and then fell in the second. The 0:3(0:0)-defeat are likely to have been the beginning of the end of European ambitions in Dortmund.

in Front of 75,000 spectators met on Wednesday, Heung-Min Son, Jan Vertonghen and Fernando Llorente for the Spurs. And so, as the Dortmund presented in this disastrous second half, no one should waste a single thought on a more to come in the return game in two weeks. But the fear that on Monday in the Bundesliga, the relegation candidates Nuremberg, the next setback occurs.

Dortmund could have got a penalty

It was a night, its desolation was to endure for Dortmund so hard, because they had not emerged at the beginning at all. To avoid errors, it enjoyed first priority, and they succeeded quite well. Tottenham stormed from the beginning, but not too neatly. With each Minute, the BVB have won to safety, and won also the first major Chance of the game.

That was after a quarter of an hour, as the initial momentum of the Spurs lost to chaos and the game in the other half of the square is shifted. All the way forward Mario Götze put pressure on Juan Foyth. The Ball came into the path of Christian Pulisic, who ran a few steps, and immediately shot, just that on Tottenham’s goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. The French got just in time the legs, preventing the quite possible the Dortmund management.

more and more dared to BVB, preferably about Pulisic and Jadon Sancho. Preferably on the right side they carried their attacks. Once Pulisic success was promising, but the sharp in the middle, folded the Ball fell to him to be inaccurate. The Spurs were more on the Ball, but the dangerous actions came from BVB. A shot by Thomas Delaney clapped Lloris to the front. Shortly afterwards, Tottenham was lucky that referee Antonio Mateo Lahoz left the game generously continue to run, as Moussa Sissoko the enteilten Sancho in the Hack – unintentionally, but against the rules.

the Spurs had Son a Chance, but it was quickly forgotten, as once again, Sancho, Dan-Axel Zagadou cross. Dortmund’s Central defender jumped higher than Foyth, don’t hit the Ball with the forehead, so that he got enough pace to bring Lloris in even greater Need.

the Back of the BVB played to with errors

It looked good for the BVB to be made to individual errors right at the start of the second half of the Building destroyed. On the right side, Achraf Hakimi with his own verschluderte recklessness in the forward movement of the Ball. Jan Vertonghen cross in the middle, about the bad post archived Zagadou, but how is he supposed to Hakimi’s error also mentally anticipate? Behind him stood at least Son ready and pushed the Ball unchallenged into the goal. As the second half was only a Minute old.

On the side line coach Lucien lowered Favre’s arms, he wanted to convey reassurance, but the uncertainty of his players was felt up under the grandstand roof. Now the Spurs were in the game. Son had a lot of good scenes, even Christian Eriksen was delighted with the rooms, which he had not before. Tottenham’s Danish playmaker Son would have hung up almost a second goal, again on the Hakimi was in charge of the side, but this time Zagadou went with the head in between.

A further three minutes later, the thought of Fernando Llorente enjoyed a after Eriksen’s corner of the head and the Dortmund debacle was perfect.
